In January, a television news crew with CBS Baltimore showed up at the home of a high school principal named Eric Eiswert, looking for an interview. 
Once the crew arrived, they didn&#8217;t record any newsworthy footage whatsoever. Eric Eiswert wasn&#8217;t even home. Nevertheless, CBS went ahead and aired very clear images of the man’s house on their evening broadcast.
They did that for one reason, which is that a mob demanded it. At the time, Eiswert was accused of making anti-black comments, on tape, in front of several administrators. Through a <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12-schools/pikesville-high-principal-eric-eiswert-NT7K7N4K6RDEJNL5Z7ULTEG7VY/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">representative</a>, Eiswert had already denied making the comments, but the media didn&#8217;t care. It was the kind of story the media loves to report — a white principal at a struggling, mostly black school had supposedly validated all of their paranoia about white supremacy. So without verifying the recording in any way, the media immediately went to his home to harass him. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Principal Racist Rant" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/BYTNbehOCh4?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Whatever possible justification those reporters thought they had for going to this principal&#8217;s home, it was over when they got there and he didn&#8217;t answer the door. That&#8217;s the moment CBS should have packed up the cameras and gone back to the station. But they didn&#8217;t. Instead, they spoke to some unnamed person behind the door and aired that footage instead, so that millions of people could see exactly what the front of this principal’s house looks like. And they did that after heavily implying he said horrible racist things on a recording — even though they admit they haven&#8217;t authenticated the recording, and say they can&#8217;t even play it on-air because of how unreliable the recording may be. This is what journalistic malpractice looks like.
But CBS wasn&#8217;t alone. The local NBC News affiliate had similar coverage. They didn&#8217;t play the recording of these alleged racist comments either. But they did speak to several students who said confidently that this principal needed to resign immediately:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 Students React" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/NUZ1i-9a2ZM?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
The police are called in because they&#8217;re worried about violence at the school. Meanwhile, the reporters are visiting this man&#8217;s home and broadcasting footage of where he lives. And the news stations are insinuating that this principal said something so horrible that they can&#8217;t even air it on television.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1356-we-ve-crossed-the-rubicon-race-hoaxers-are-now-using-ai-member-exclusive">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
To be fair, they didn&#8217;t have to air it because other media outlets were spreading it all over the internet. Philip Lewis, the deputy editor of Huffington Post, posted the audio along with this message implying the principal&#8217;s guilt. Here&#8217;s <a href="https://x.com/Phil_Lewis_/status/1747708846942851493" target="_blank" rel="noopener">what he wrote</a>: &#8220;Baltimore County Public Schools is investigating the principal at Pikesville High for alleged derogatory remarks about students and staff. A voice believed to be the principal can be heard ranting about Black students and Jewish families.&#8221; 
Who exactly &#8220;believed&#8221; the voice to be the principal? The Huffington Post editor didn&#8217;t say. He certainly didn&#8217;t investigate the recording himself. But in reply to Philip&#8217;s posts, a lot of people called for the principal&#8217;s termination anyway. &#8220;What&#8217;s there to investigate?&#8221; said one person.
Here&#8217;s the audio of the principal&#8217;s alleged racist meltdown, which Philip posted:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="007 Racist Tape" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/nrYHH-_i5vE?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Now, I remember hearing this audio when it was originally circulating. And it seemed authentic to me, on a technical level at least. I didn&#8217;t think it was digitally altered. It sounds like a person — some person, anyway — saying those things. But it also seemed strangely… off… in a few different ways. It was obviously suspicious for a principal in Baltimore, of all places, to say these kinds of things in front of other people. People with these points of view aren&#8217;t getting hired to teach in Baltimore, much less run the schools. And everything he says is over-the-top, even in the context of a supposedly racist rant. He&#8217;s attacking black kids and Jewish people in the span of 45 seconds for some reason. It&#8217;s like listening to a leftist&#8217;s comic book idea of what a bigoted school administrator would sound like. The “I’m going to join the other side” line is so on the nose as to be almost comical.
The local news media in Baltimore, however, didn&#8217;t share any of my skepticism. One popular talk show suggested that the tape was almost certainly legitimate, because the voice in the recording mentions specific people at the school by name. That was the reasoning. It can&#8217;t possibly be fake because someone put the bare minimum amount of effort into it, to make it seem legitimate. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 Radio" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Pz2b4ayy75g?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Yes, how could anyone at the school possibly have “an axe to grind”? How could any faculty member conceivably want to concoct some race hoax in order to bring down the principal? When have people ever lied about being victims of racism? Somehow that kind of thinking still exists in this country in 2024, after about ten million other race hoaxes have been exposed.
But to the great surprise of virtually every media outlet in Baltimore, the ruse came crashing down yesterday, when we learned that this recording is, indeed, yet another one of these race hoaxes. 
The principal never said any of the things on that recording. There was no recording at all. 
It was all created by AI. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="009 Investigation Update" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/MedDClwZ2Zc?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
Oddly enough, watching that video, it almost looks like the police press conference was AI generated too. The officer&#8217;s mouth doesn&#8217;t match the sounds. That&#8217;s the era we&#8217;re now living in. In any event, in this case, the audio was generated by an AI program that&#8217;s extremely simple to use. All you would have to do is upload a short audio file containing a voice — it can be just a single sentence — and then you can have the AI say whatever you want, in that person&#8217;s voice.
Police have <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12-schools/eric-eiswert-ai-audio-baltimore-county-YBJNJAS6OZEE5OQVF5LFOFYN6M/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">arrested</a> the school&#8217;s athletic director, a 31-year-old man named Dazhon Darien, and charged him with creating this AI voice file. Specifically, he&#8217;s been hit with a variety of offenses, including stalking, theft, and disruption of school operation.
What would Darien&#8217;s motivation be for making up a fake recording like this? It turns out that he was under investigation by the principal for allegedly paying teachers under the table using school funds. There was also other alleged misconduct as well, so Darien&#8217;s contract wasn&#8217;t being renewed. In response, he decided to generate fake evidence that he was being fired because he&#8217;s black. On the tape, the principal supposedly says he needs to get rid of black employees by any means necessary — including D.J., which is Darien&#8217;s nickname. Then Darien allegedly shared the audio file with another teacher (a black woman who has since resigned), who in turn then shared it with a student who put it on social media. (As of now, no one has been charged with any wrongdoing except this athletic director). 
As a quick aside, notice what Darien allegedly chose to include in the fake audio. There&#8217;s an angry complaint in there about black students performing poorly on test scores. It&#8217;s interesting this is something the athletic director thought to include in his fake racist screed. This is how broken Baltimore&#8217;s schools are now. The only impassioned comments you&#8217;ll hear about black students failing their tests are in an AI-generated racist deep fake designed to destroy the life of the school&#8217;s white principal. Otherwise, no one seems to care about the academic performance in these schools.
This case was apparently solved by analysts who determined conclusively that the recording was AI. For some reason, the media apparently didn&#8217;t speak to any of these analysts in January, when they were visiting the principal at his home. But the Baltimore Banner interviewed several of these experts last month. They determined with 99% certainty that they were dealing with AI, based on some telltale signs.
One of the experts <a href="https://www.thebaltimorebanner.com/education/k-12-schools/eric-eiswert-ai-deepfake-YUNO6ITYM5FWZPQAE24RIBV5CQ/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>: “There are some signs of editing, like putting different pieces together. This has the sound features of AI generation. The tone is a little flat.” Additionally, there was a lack of &#8220;consistent breathing sounds or pauses&#8221; in the recording, as well as &#8220;unusually clean background sounds.&#8221; The analysts also noted, quote, &#8220;sudden and incredibly short stops between bits of dialogue that indicate the absence of sound, which itself indicates some level of file manipulation.&#8221;
So this was pretty open- and shut at a technical level. It wasn&#8217;t a sophisticated deepfake at all. And even then, it took months until the truth came out and this principal could clear his name. That&#8217;s how long it took the FBI, Berkeley, and several other AI experts to vindicate this man.
What this means is that we have officially entered into a new era of race hoaxes. We all knew that this would happen eventually. Now we&#8217;ve crossed the Rubicon. Unfortunately, it&#8217;s only going to get worse from here. We already know there&#8217;s a deep desire and willingness among many people to frame innocent people as racists and bigots. AI will be used relentlessly to that end.
Before long, the technology will advance to the point that &#8220;experts&#8221; won&#8217;t be able to identify AI as easily. The tone of the audio will be less &#8220;flat,&#8221; and there won&#8217;t be any awkward spots in the recording. What happens then? Keep in mind, again, that this fake recording — which does at least sound like a real human being — was made by some dumb race hoaxer working at a public school. What could someone with a bit more expertise and access to better technology do? And what happens when the video deep fakes become as convincing as the audio ones? Then we&#8217;ll have real problems. Fake hate crimes will be the least of our worries. Total destabilization of society is what we&#8217;re facing.
Imagine AI-generated videos of police officers killing unarmed black suspects. Is there any doubt that kind of video would cause nationwide riots? A few weeks ago, an armed black criminal out on pretrial release actually shot at police officers on camera, and the media still <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/the-media-nominates-their-new-george-floyd" target="_blank" rel="noopener">nominated</a> the shooter as their new George Floyd. And that&#8217;s just the beginning.
Picture AI-generated politicians committing gaffes, making promises, and even declaring war. What happens when AI Joe Biden announces, say, a ground invasion of Russia at 7:00 p.m., just as the real Joe Biden falls asleep? You can imagine the hysteria — especially when an AI-generated Karine Jean-Pierre heads to the fake podium to confirm it.
It&#8217;s obvious that we need some kind of legislation in place to stave off the catastrophe we can all see coming. Unfortunately, judging by the fact it took several months to disprove this AI hoax, it&#8217;s clear that most people aren&#8217;t ready for that conversation. Millions of people see AI-generated clips that affirm what they already believe, and they don&#8217;t have any interest in checking if the clip is real or not.
In this case, the AI clip of that principal supposedly affirmed the fiction that white supremacy is alive and well in Baltimore. It was too good to check, so it went viral immediately. That&#8217;s why the AI-generated narratives will keep coming. That&#8217;s why the number of victims will continue to rise. And it&#8217;s why, to save not only jobs but also lives, we need to rein in this technology while we still can.

AI speaks letters, text-to-speech or TTS, text-to-voice, speech synthesis applications, generative Artificial Intelligence, futuristic technology in language and communication.

O.J. Simpson died on Thursday at the age of 76, and the media didn&#8217;t quite know what to do.
They didn&#8217;t know what to do because O.J. Simpson was a murderer, and everyone knows he was a murderer. But he spent the last half of his life being treated by some in the media as though he was a sort of controversial figure.
A headline from the <a href="https://www.washingtonpost.com/podcasts/post-reports/how-will-oj-simpson-be-remembered/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Washington Post</a> summed this up: “How will O.J. Simpson be remembered?”
The answer for everyone who remembers the O.J. Simpson murder trial is that he will be remembered as a person who very obviously murdered his ex-wife and a person named Ron Goldman, and then proceeded to be alleviated of the criminal responsibility for that double murder by a jury of people who were politically motivated, to the celebration of a wide swath of the American population.
He&#8217;ll be remembered as a person who dramatically widened the gap between the races in the United States, which, in some ways, has never truly closed. It seemed as though that between the trial of O.J. Simpson and the election of Barack Obama, America was becoming more racially reconciliatory. 
But Barack Obama opened those gaps wide again in 2010, 2011, and 2012.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1946-oj-simpson-killed-by-cancer-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
The O.J. Simpson trial was the moment when Americans realized that the attempts of the 1960s and 1970s to move beyond America&#8217;s terrible history of racism had some pretty impactful consequences, and that there were two sides to the racial conflict in the United States because up until the Civil Rights movement, there really was only one side.
That side had been American white supremacists treating black people as chattel and as trash. After the Civil Rights movement, the idea was that we would put all of that behind us. We were going to move forward in a country that tries to actually meet the guarantees of the Declaration of Independence that all men are created equal.
But then, in the O.J. Simpson trial, it became very clear to a lot of Americans that the standard of equal justice for all was not only a matter of if that could be reached, but it was also a matter of if everyone wanted that standard to be reached.
That&#8217;s what the O.J. Simpson trial meant for a lot of people. And that&#8217;s why he will be remembered as a double murderer who got away with it for racial political reasons.
Simpson left the families of Ron Goldman and Nicole Brown in his wake. Not just that; he still owed more than $100 million to their families because they won civil trials against him after losing the criminal trial in favor of convicting him.
The evidence against O.J. was overwhelming. Everyone knew he was guilty. No one legitimately believed he was innocent. It was just a question of whether you wanted to see him acquitted because of racial reasons.
Those racial reasons were explained at the time and are being explained even now by people who believe that somehow, some sort of revenge was deserved for America&#8217;s terrible racial history.
After he killed two white people, suddenly his cause became a “racial cause.” And that racial logic has kept up even until today.
Marc Lamont Hill, a true believer in the perverse ideology of diversity, equity, and inclusion (DEI), and critical race theory, <a href="https://twitter.com/marclamonthill/status/1778461905268412472" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a> yesterday, 
<blockquote>O.J. Simpson was an abusive liar who abandoned his community long before he killed two people in cold blood. His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. But he&#8217;s still a monster, not a martyr.</blockquote>
So he acknowledges O.J. Simpson murdered two people in cold blood and was a monster, but he still deserved to be acquitted.
No country obviously can survive for very long on the basis that, as long as you are a member of a particular race, you deserve to be acquitted for murdering somebody else of another race in that sort of pure, unbridled hatred and racism. It wrecks societies.
The more faith you show in the political narrative, the more you&#8217;re willing to pick a bad example and say even it applies to your narrative. And O.J. is the worst example of all.
At the time of the trial, some black people and white people responded incredibly differently to the verdict.
<h4><a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILY WIRE APP</a></h4>
Even today, there are people who are trying to make excuses for why O.J. was acquitted because the real question is not really why O.J. did what he did. He was a sociopathic murderer who murdered two people in cold blood. The real question is why the legal system did what it did and why Americans reacted the way they did.
O.J. Simpson died a free man. The idea that there is some underlying question of justice with regard to O.J. Simpson that would have allowed for the moral imprimatur to be placed upon his acquittal is morally unrighteous foolishness.
O.J. Simpson was a double murderer. He should have gone to jail. And if you believe that questions of race should take precedence over questions of actual blood guilt, that makes you a bad person. That is not how justice works.
When social justice, which is what this is, trumps individual justice, when the idea is that a racial narrative — a true racial narrative about black victimhood in America —  is supposed to trump the fact that a black man killed two white people, you have lost the thread of decency and morality.
Justice cannot work under these circumstances.

O.J. Simpson

In 1995, there were two very different versions of the O.J. Simpson trial playing out. For most of the country, the trial was a spectacle. A lot of crazy stuff happened — so much that most people don&#8217;t remember all of it.
Overnight, for example, the National Enquirer tabloid <a href="https://www.nytimes.com/1994/10/24/us/the-enquirer-required-reading-in-simpson-case.html">morphed</a> into a crack legal publication that broke several exclusive stories about the proceedings. They had 20 reporters working on the case, coming up with transcripts and scoops that everyone else missed. And of course, Norm Macdonald made so many jokes about the case that he was fired from SNL because of it. In the decades since, there hasn&#8217;t been any trial remotely like it — covered wall-to-wall, for months, by pretty much every channel in America. It was entertainment.
At the same time, in black areas of Los Angeles, and in major cities all over the country, the O.J. Simpson trial wasn&#8217;t just a spectacle. It was also about revenge for the Rodney King acquittals and police corruption more generally. That&#8217;s been discussed quite a bit over the last 30 years.
What&#8217;s gotten less attention is that, with the O.J. trial, for the first time, it became widely acceptable to think about the deaths of white people as necessary collateral damage to exact this kind of political revenge.
There was no social media at the time, and cable news was pretty sanitized. So no one with a major television platform came right out and directly said this. But they didn&#8217;t need to. It was obvious, especially if you looked at how little concern there was among O.J. supporters for Nicole Brown and Ron Goldman and their families.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1346-the-matt-walsh-show" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Matt Walsh Show</a></h4>
Nicole Brown, as you might remember, was repeatedly beaten by O.J. before she divorced him. And then he hunted her down and nearly cut her head off. Everyone knew this, but not everyone cared. It was apparent from the reactions when O.J. was acquitted. It was euphoria, and it broke down along racial lines. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="004 Videos of people celebrating verdict" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/UZCTIAPknPk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
It&#8217;s pretty disturbing footage, especially since at the time it didn&#8217;t cause a lot of outrage. Thousands of people all over the country, most of them black, celebrated the acquittal of someone who obviously just murdered two people. At the time, serious people understood that this was jury nullification. But no one really explored the implications. What does a country look like, over the long term, when murdering white people is seen as acceptable, for any reason? What happens when the media and major political figures endorse this barbarism?
No one seemed to care, even after a juror from the O.J. trial came right out and admitted, many years after the fact, that 90% of the jurors knew that O.J. was guilty. But the jurors acquitted him anyway, because they were driven by a desire for &#8220;payback.&#8221; Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="005 Why Acquit OJ" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qDjbVQR04Bk?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&nbsp;
She knows it&#8217;s wrong to let a killer go free, but she did it anyway. So did the rest of the jury.
This has all been known for a while now. What&#8217;s less widely known is that the Los Angeles DA at the time, a Democrat named Gil Garcetti, engineered this acquittal. An attorney named Dilan Esper has <a href="https://x.com/dilanesper/status/1297642386340712448" target="_blank" rel="noopener">cataloged</a> all the ways that Garcetti rigged the trial in favor of O.J. The big one is that he didn&#8217;t try the case in Brentwood, which is in West Los Angeles. That would have been the logical place to hold the trial because Simpson had lived in Brentwood for two decades. But Brentwood is almost exclusively white. And Garcetti recognized that, for O.J. to have the best chance of acquittal, given the racial politics of the case, he needed to pick a new venue. So he chose downtown Los Angeles — where he was able to secure an overwhelmingly black jury with just a couple of white people on it.
Garcetti made several other decisions to swing the case for O.J. For example, he declined to pursue the death penalty after publicly meeting with Johnnie Cochran — who was just about to join O.J.&#8217;s defense team. That was a significant decision because a death penalty jury has to answer &#8220;yes&#8221; to the question of whether they&#8217;d be OK with sentencing someone to death. That weeds out a lot of Left-wing jurors immediately. So Garcetti chose not to do it.
Additionally, Garcetti chose to present the prosecution&#8217;s entire case during pretrial hearings, giving the defense a chance to scope out all of the witnesses well in advance of trial. As Esper points out, this ultimately worked to the defense&#8217;s advantage in a major way. O.J.&#8217;s lawyers picked up on one inconsistency in the pretrial testimony — relating to the amount of blood collected by police investigators — and made it a major part of their defense.
These were not errors, or sloppy work by the prosecutors. These were intentional efforts by Garcetti to avoid convicting O.J. Simpson, which would have ended his political career. Pretty much every black voter in Los Angeles would have voted to remove Garcetti if O.J. was found guilty. Indeed, even after O.J. Simpson was found not guilty, Garcetti refused to prosecute him for perjury in the civil trial, even though it was clear O.J. Simpson lied several times. That&#8217;s how committed Garcetti was to keeping O.J. Simpson out of jail.
Again, anyone paying attention during this whole saga understood everything that was going on at the time. This is not new information. What is new is that, now that O.J. Simpson is dead — he <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/o-j-simpson-dead-at-76-following-battle-with-cancer" target="_blank" rel="noopener">died yesterday</a> of cancer —  mainstream news outlets are just coming right out and admitting it. They&#8217;re acknowledging that O.J. Simpson was guilty, but that he simply couldn&#8217;t be convicted because of race politics. 
Here for example is a CNN journalist explaining on-camera yesterday that in 1995, a lot of black people loved to see a black man get away with murdering two white people. She catches herself mid-way through, but it&#8217;s clear what she&#8217;s saying. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="006 CNN celebrates verdict" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/hL_t3wgdT6Y?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
We&#8217;d have a much better understanding of today&#8217;s race politics, and how to put an end to it, if we could have admitted this back in 1995. A lot of people wanted to see a black man get away with murder. The two white people were simply collateral damage.
A professor named Marc Lamont Hill spelled this out <a href="https://x.com/marclamonthill/status/1778461905268412472" target="_blank" rel="noopener">very clearly</a> yesterday:
<blockquote>O.J. Simpson was an abusive liar who abandoned his community long before he killed two people in cold blood. His acquittal for murder was the correct and necessary result of a racist criminal legal system. But he’s still a monster, not a martyr.</blockquote>
In other words, you can kill white people without penalty. As long as the criminal legal system is racist — and people like Marc Lamont Hill believe it&#8217;s irredeemably, irreparably racist forever — then it&#8217;s fine to basically decapitate white people. That&#8217;s according to someone who collects a paycheck paid by the government of New York to teach the next generation.
Yesterday, Hill elaborated on his reasoning, essentially saying that O.J. had every right to kill his victims because a police officer involved in the case used a racial slur at some point in the past. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="007 Mark Lamont Hill" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/Jkc3uYKGUKs?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
You&#8217;ll notice there&#8217;s no regard whatsoever in Marc Lamont Hill&#8217;s mind for the two victims. Their families aren&#8217;t entitled to justice, all because a detective on their murder case used a racial slur. If you use the n-word, then any white person who&#8217;s tangentially related to you deserves to die. That&#8217;s basically what he&#8217;s saying. A lot of people thought this in 1995, but they didn&#8217;t say it in public. That&#8217;s changing.
The reason several mainstream outlets spent yesterday eulogizing O.J. Simpson as some kind of victim is that they approve of what he did. There&#8217;s no other way to spin it.
The New York Times, for example, <a href="https://x.com/EndWokeness/status/1778446276440264921" target="_blank" rel="noopener">wrote</a> that quote, &#8220;A jury in the murder trial &#8230;. cleared Mr. Simpson, but the case ruined his world.&#8221; They quickly edited that out of the piece when people pointed out that he stabbed two people to death and therefore &#8220;ruined&#8221; their worlds, too. 
For its part, NPR wrote the following <a href="https://www.yahoo.com/news/o-j-simpson-coverage-york-230410329.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">headline</a> on something called &#8220;Threads:&#8221; &#8220;BREAKING NEWS: The football great Orenthal James Simpson, known as O.J., has died.&#8221;
The Associated Press, meanwhile, <a href="https://x.com/AP/status/1778583977718165987" target="_blank" rel="noopener">tweeted</a>: &#8220;Legendary athlete, actor and millionaire: O.J. Simpson&#8217;s murder trial lost him the American dream.&#8221;
Those are all real headlines. Everyone knows exactly what&#8217;s going on here. The only way to get glowing headlines like this from the corporate media is if you kill people they don&#8217;t like. It&#8217;s the same reason The Washington Post <a href="https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-50205592" target="_blank" rel="noopener">described</a> that ISIS leader as an &#8220;austere religious scholar.&#8221; O.J. Simpson killed members of a disfavored demographic, so they&#8217;re mourning him as a victim, not the people he killed.
This kind of attitude was everywhere yesterday. There was no focus on the victims whatsoever. CBS News interviewed one of O.J.&#8217;s lawyers from the 1995 trial, named Carl Douglas. In the interview, he comes out and declares what he saw as a main benefit of the trial. Again, it had nothing to do with justice or finding the truth or the &#8220;real killers.&#8221;
Instead, it was about showing to the world that black lawyers can get defendants off, too. Watch:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="008 The Era of The Time" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/ZuocpqCpKXU?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
&#8220;And whatever you think of this verdict, for Black Americans, it was not speaking about O.J. Simpson per se.&#8221;
That about sums it up, straight from one of O.J.&#8217;s lawyers. The O.J. trial was not about O.J. Simpson. The trial was arguably the beginning, or at least a landmark moment on the way towards, our current era of racial insanity. The race hustlers of the time rallied around O.J. not because they thought he was innocent but because they saw him as an agent of revenge. And Democratic Party elites in Los Angeles like Gil Garcetti did everything they could to ensure O.J.&#8217;s acquittal so that he could serve that function.
But nobody was more explicit than CNN contributor Ashely Allison, a former senior advisor in the Obama White House. Listen to what she chose to say out loud on national television yesterday:
<iframe loading="lazy" title="014 CNN OJ Relatable To Black" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/xTO8tcq_o00?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
“He represented something for black Americans because it was two white people who’d been killed.” That’s what black Americans connected with, according to this woman. They felt affinity with O.J. because he brutally slaughtered white people. Talk about saying the quiet part out loud. Although, as we’ve seen, it’s hardly the quiet part anymore.
This mentality has metastasized over time, helped along by Barack Obama, leading to the rise of BLM, and culminating in Floyd and the 2020 riots, and then the post-Floyd era of DEI. Now, 30 years later, so-called &#8220;race relations&#8221; have deteriorated to the point that the race hustlers finally feel comfortable coming out and telling us what their motives were all along.
Yes, O.J. Simpson is dead. But the legacy of that trial, particularly the racial violence and distrust that it normalized, is still very much alive.

Fulton County District Attorney <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/its-done-reactions-pour-in-over-latest-bombshell-report-against-fani-willis" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Fani Willis</a> has again publicly discussed <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/race" target="_blank" rel="noopener">race</a>, seemingly in response to Georgia Judge Scott McAfee rebuking Willis for her infamous &#8220;playing the race card&#8221; speech at an Atlanta church in January. 
Judge McAfee decided last month that Willis is permitted to stay on a controversial Trump election interference case after Trump co-defendant Michael Roman claimed Willis&#8217; affair with special prosecutor Nathan Wade was a clear conflict of interest, which financially benefited Willis.
&#8220;It&#8217;s hard out here always having to prove yourself two and three times,&#8221; Willis <a href="https://georgiastarnews.com/news/fani-willis-invokes-race-in-first-speech-since-being-chastised-by-judge-over-race-based-church-speech/tpappert/2024/04/01/">said</a> on Friday, at the South Fulton Women of the Shield Awards. &#8220;Recently they tell me they don&#8217;t like me to talk about race. Well, I&#8217;m gonna talk about it anyway. Truth is, there is [sic] some challenges to being black.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
Though Willis was allowed to stay on the Trump case if Wade resigned, which he did, McAfee scolded Willis for acting with a “tremendous lapse in judgment,” suggested she lied on the stand, and said he did find an appearance of “impropriety.” 
The judge also rebuked Willis for the public racially-charged speech she gave in January, which seemed to target those who brought the apparent conflict of interest to light. 
“They only attacked one,&#8221; Willis <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aGHjumOMWHA&amp;embeds_referring_euri=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.dailywire.com%2F&amp;source_ve_path=MjM4NTE&amp;feature=emb_title" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> at the church. &#8220;First thing they say, ‘Oh, she’s gonna play the race card now.’ But no God, isn’t it them that’s playing the race card when they only question one. Isn’t it them playing the race card when they constantly think I need someone from some other jurisdiction in some other state to tell me how to do a job I’ve been doing almost 30 years.” 
McAfee wrote that the speech was &#8220;legally improper.&#8221;
&#8220;In these public and televised comments, the District Attorney complained that a Fulton County Commissioner &#8216;and so many others&#8217; questioned her decision to hire SADA Wade,&#8221; he wrote. &#8220;When referring to her detractors throughout the speech, she frequently utilized the plural &#8216;they.&#8217; The State argues the speech was not aimed at any of the Defendants in this case. Maybe so. But maybe not. Therein lies the danger of public comment by a prosecuting attorney.&#8221;
&#8220;More at issue, instead of attributing the criticism to a criminal accused’s general aversion to being convicted and facing a prison sentence, the District Attorney ascribed the effort as motivated by ‘playing the race card,'&#8221; McAfee continued. &#8220;She went on to frequently refer to SADA Wade as the ‘black man’ while her other unchallenged SADAs were labeled ‘one white woman’ and ‘one white man.’ The effect of this speech was to cast racial aspersions at an indicted Defendant’s decision to file this pretrial motion.&#8221;

A prominent independent writer was accused on ABC&#8217;s &#8220;<a href="https://www.dailywire.com/topic/sunny-hostin" target="_blank" rel="noopener">The View</a>&#8221; this week of being a &#8220;pawn&#8221; for the political Right because of his views on race in America.
Coleman Hughes, an author and podcast host, joined the Left-wing show on Wednesday to discuss his book &#8220;The End of Race Politics: Arguments for a Colorblind America.&#8221;
Co-host Sunny Hostin said that Hughes&#8217; belief that everyone should &#8220;treat people without regard to race&#8221; was &#8220;fundamentally flawed.&#8221;
Hostin tried to use quotes from Martin Luther King Jr. to argue against having a &#8220;color-blind&#8221; society where everyone is treated equally regardless of race.
&#8220;So your argument for color-blindness, I think, is something that the Right has co-opted and so many in the black community, if I’m being honest with you, because I want to be, believe that you are being used as a pawn by the Right and that you’re a charlatan of sorts,&#8221; Hostin said.
Co-host Alyssa Farah Griffin, who is a contributor at CNN, defended Hughes against the allegations, noting: “He’s not a Republican!”
Hostin claimed that Hughes has declared that he is a &#8220;conservative,&#8221; which he denied having said.
&#8220;I don’t think I’ve been co-opted by anyone. I’ve only voted twice — both for Democrats. I’m an independent,&#8221; Hughes said. &#8220;I would vote for a Republican — probably a non-Trump Republican if they were compelling. I don’t think there’s any evidence I’ve been co-opted by anyone and I think that’s an ad-hominem tactic people use to not address, really, the important conversations we’re having here. I think it’s better and it would be better for everyone if we stuck to the topics rather than make it about me without any evidence that I’ve been co-opted.&#8221;

&#8220;No one is paying me to say what I&#8217;m saying,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;The reason I wrote this book is because, in the past 10 years, it has become very popular to, in the name of anti-racism, teach a kind of philosophy to our children, in general, that says your race is everything. And I think that is the wrong way to fight racism, and that&#8217;s why I wrote this book at this time.&#8221;

A Minnesota school district is hiring a new assistant superintendent who will be expected to &#8220;examine&#8221; the presence of “Whiteness.”
St. Louis Park Public Schools just outside Minneapolis <a href="https://slpschools.tedk12.com/hire/ViewJob.aspx?JobID=591" target="_blank" rel="noopener">posted</a> the job description for the position on the district&#8217;s job board.
The job, with a salary between $134,141 and $201,212, will focus specifically on injecting &#8220;anti-racism&#8221; into the district&#8217;s culture.
&#8220;[T]he Assistant Superintendent proactively supports the Superintendent to create and communicate anti-racist structures and systems, works to interrupt systems of oppression, and serves as a role model for culturally relevant pedagogy,&#8221; reads the job description.
The posting says the person who fills the role will be &#8220;unwaveringly committed to anti-racist actions&#8221; and will have a &#8220;clear personal commitment to advancing racial equity.&#8221;
It continues, &#8220;They prioritize their own racial equity journey and set clear expectations for themselves and others in their pursuit of racial equity goals.&#8221;
The new assistant superintendent will also &#8220;use data to adapt and sustain their efforts towards racial equity.&#8221;
&#8220;They actively listen for both spoken and unspoken racial concerns, seek multiple racial perspectives, examine the presence and role of &#8216;Whiteness&#8217; in systems and structures, and are open to feedback regarding their own racial blind spots,&#8221; the job posting reads.
Meanwhile, this person also &#8220;[f]osters joy and cultivates a culture of accountability for systemic racial equity transformation.&#8221;
Just last week, the district hired a new superintendent, Dr. Carla Hines, who appears to be focused on racial equity.
&#8220;Her educational leadership, dedication to student academic success, and vision for racial equity transformation is impressive and I&#8217;m confident she&#8217;ll lead our district with integrity and passion, advancing our strategic plan,” <a href="https://www.slpschools.org/default-board-post-page/~board/district/post/dr-hines-selected-for-st-louis-park-public-schools-superintendent" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> school board chairman Colin Cox in announcing Hines as superintendent.
The St. Louis Park district <a href="https://www.usnews.com/education/k12/minnesota/districts/st-louis-park-public-school-dist-103888" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serves</a> more than 4,500 students at nine schools. Just over half the students are white, while about 20% are black, nearly 13% are Hispanic, and the rest are mixed race, Asian, or another minority.
About 18% of students are economically disadvantaged, and 8% are still learning English.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1711624021971000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1PsD9ubifrvbeusazFoLDO">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Only about 34% of high schoolers in the district are proficient in math, and 58% are proficient in reading. Among middle schoolers, 37% are proficient in math, and 52% are proficient in reading.
In recent years, parents in districts across the country have spoken out against critical race theory (CRT) and other race-related curriculum content they find divisive and objectionable for children.
In 2022, the Florida education board <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/federal-judge-suspends-stop-woke-act-in-florida">banned</a> public schools from teaching CRT. Some individual districts, such as Temecula Valley Unified School District in California, have banned elements of CRT.

A George Floyd memorial scholarship open only to “Black or African American, that is, a person having origins in any of the black racial groups of Africa,” students violates the Civil Rights Act, a federal complaint says.
North Central University in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has offered the scholarship since June 2020, and says on its <a href="https://www.northcentral.edu/george-floyd-scholarship-fund/george-floyd-memorial-scholarship-application/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">website</a> that the memorial scholarship “is a four-year, full-tuition scholarship awarded to one student each year based on two community recommendations and a written essay.”
William Jacobson, a Cornell Law professor who runs the conservative website Legal Insurrection and founded the Equal Protection Project, filed <a href="https://www.scribd.com/document/717276341/Equal-Protection-Project-OCR-complaint-against-North-Central-University" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a complaint</a> with the U.S. Department of Education’s Office for Civil Rights in Chicago, alleging the scholarship violates Title VI of the Civil Rights Act of 1964, which prohibits schools from discriminating based on race.
“The George Floyd Scholarship eligibility requirements are openly racially discriminatory,” Jacobson <a href="https://www.thecollegefix.com/george-floyd-scholarship-violates-civil-rights-law-federal-complaint/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">told </a>The College Fix. “Regardless of the purpose of the racial discrimination, it is wrong and unlawful.”
“NCU needs to come up with a remedial plan to compensate students shut out of the George Floyd Scholarship due to discrimination,” Jacobson added.
In addition to violating the federal Civil Rights Act, the scholarship also violates Minnesota’s Human Rights Act, Jacobson’s complaint alleges.
“Similarly, the [scholarship] defies the civil rights protections of Minnesota’s Human Rights Act, which makes it a criminal offense for an educational institution to limit access to any educational program on the basis of race,” a footnote in the complaint says.
Jacobson also told The College Fix that the Supreme Court’s decision last year on affirmative action should make clear that discriminating based on race is illegal.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1711640026842000&amp;usg=AOvVaw3sOY2Bt9jMVsd927UJmEoT">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
“After the Supreme Court’s decision in [Students For Fair Admissions], it is clear that discriminating on the basis of race to achieve diversity is not lawful,” Jacobson told the Fix. “As Chief Justice Roberts wrote in the majority opinion, ‘[e]liminating racial discrimination means eliminating all of it.’”
In Justice Neil Gorsuch’s concurring opinion on the affirmative action ruling, he stated that it doesn’t “matter if the recipient discriminates against an individual member of a protected class with the idea that doing so might favor the interests of that class as a whole or otherwise promote equality at the group level.”
The Supreme Court <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/supreme-court-issues-landmark-ruling-on-affirmative-action-at-universities" target="_blank" rel="noopener">ruling</a> was based on allegations that Harvard discriminated against Asian and white students by enrolling students of other races over them, even when the Asian and white students had better test scores.

The bar exam will no longer be required for people who want to practice law in Washington state, the state Supreme Court ruled last week, prompted by equity concerns.
In a pair of orders Friday, the Washington Supreme Court approved &#8220;alternative pathways to lawyer licensure,&#8221; the court <a href="https://www.courts.wa.gov/newsinfo/?fa=newsinfo.pressdetail&amp;newsid=50389" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in a press release.
The decision follows recommendations made by the state&#8217;s Bar Licensure Task Force, which was formed in 2020 to examine the issue. The task force recommended getting rid of the mandatory bar exam in order to &#8220;advance the cause of diversity, equity, and inclusion.&#8221;
The task force found that the traditional bar exam &#8220;disproportionately and unnecessarily blocks historically marginalized groups from entering the practice of law.&#8221;
&#8220;In addition to the racism and classism written into the test itself the time and financial costs of the test reinforce historical inequities in our profession,&#8221; the task force <a href="https://www.courts.wa.gov/content/publicUpload/Supreme%20Court%20Orders/Orders%2025700B710%20and%2025700B711.pdf" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> in its recommendations. &#8220;Despite these issues, data indicates that the bar exam is at best minimally effective for ensuring competent lawyers.&#8221;
Under the court&#8217;s new changes, Washington will create three &#8220;experiential-learning&#8221; alternatives to the bar exam.
Law school graduates will have to do a six-month apprenticeship under the guidance and supervision of a qualified attorney as well as take three more standardized courses.
Students still in law school must complete 12 qualifying skills credits and do 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern. They must then submit a portfolio of this work to waive the bar exam.
<a href="https://onelink.to/dwapp" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer" aria-describedby="sk-tooltip-9096" data-saferedirecturl="https://www.google.com/url?q=https://onelink.to/dwapp&amp;source=gmail&amp;ust=1710952453602000&amp;usg=AOvVaw1IY4j0l4VlLLOxrUYQutIY">CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP</a>
Law clerks who are not attending law school must also complete 500 hours of work as a licensed legal intern as well as meet certain benchmarks and complete standardized educational materials.
The state is also lowering the minimum score to pass the bar from 270 to 266, a lower threshold previously adopted during the pandemic. Those who do take the rigorous test will take a new, updated bar exam that &#8220;addresses many of the identified flaws in the current bar exam by focusing on real-world skills and practice&#8221; starting in summer, 2026.
The court is also calling for assessments and programs to help lawyers remain competent throughout their careers, not just when they are licensed. A timeline for all the changes is not yet set, but they will be implemented by the Washington State Bar Association.
Last week&#8217;s decision makes Washington the second state to nix the bar exam requirement after Oregon <a href="https://www.insidehighered.com/news/students/careers/2023/11/09/oregon-approves-alternative-bar-exam" target="_blank" rel="noopener">made</a> the same decision for similar reasons in November.

Denver Public Schools has an &#8220;ethnic studies&#8221; course that teaches ninth graders racial equity and gender ideology, according to a parental rights group.
Parents Defending Education (PDE) said they obtained the <a href="https://defendinged.org/incidents/denver-public-schools-has-mandatory-ethnic-studies-curriculum-for-ninth-grade-students-that-teaches-them-to-embrace-collectivism-over-individualism-teaches-students-that-gender-exists-on-a-spectrum/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">curriculum</a> for the Denver school district&#8217;s ninth grade &#8220;Introduction to Ethnic Studies&#8221; course, which allegedly includes lessons on &#8220;Building a Collective Society&#8221; and &#8220;Intersectionality in Action.&#8221;
Other topics reportedly include “Mapping Identity Through Poetry,” “Beyond the Binary,” “The Intersectionality Lens,” and “Systemic Change.”
Scott Pribble, the district&#8217;s Director of External Communications, said in an email that the course is &#8220;not a required course for any of our students&#8221; and that they have &#8220;not received any concerns from parents.&#8221;
In the collective society lesson, students are asked to &#8220;analyze and critique dominant individualist ideologies in the United States,&#8221; according to PDE.
One lesson reportedly asks students to &#8220;reflect on the 20th century American concepts of the American Dream and the Self-Made Man&#8221; and write a brief summary of a pretend movie that &#8220;captures the essence of the American Dream through an individualist perspective.&#8221;
&#8220;Then, students learn about collectivist values from Indigenous Plant Teachings&#8221; and rewrite their movie summaries to &#8220;integrate collective values.&#8221;
The lesson provides an example of a movie summary: &#8220;In the roaring 20s New York City, a determined young Irish immigrant dockworker, fueled by a passionate love for a wealthy socialite, embarks on a perilous journey to transcend his humble origins and earn her love.&#8221;
The lesson suggests changing that movie summary to: &#8220;In 1920s New York City, a compassionate young Irish immigrant accepts a position as a dockworker, and fueled by his commitment to his community, joins forces with his fellow workers to challenge oppressive class divisions and create a more just and equitable society,&#8221; according to PDE.
Several lessons focus on American Indian culture, including one that asks students to use a Navajo Four Cardinal Directions map to &#8220;design a classroom worldview.&#8221;
Students are also reportedly asked to explore how different representations of an Aztec deity &#8220;helps build deeper understanding of the truth and meaning,&#8221; according to the lesson plan.
The curriculum also has students learn the term &#8220;anti-racism&#8221; and watch an Ibram X. Kendi <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eY4jK__2GsE" target="_blank" rel="noopener">interview</a>, PDE reported. That lesson also teaches students the quote, &#8220;In a racist society it is not enough to be non-racist, we must be anti-racist&#8221; from Angela Davis.
In the unit on gender ideology, students &#8220;analyze statistics on anti-trans politics&#8221; and learn about &#8220;gender fluid cultures,&#8221; according to the group.
The Denver Public Schools <a href="https://www.dpsk12.org" target="_blank" rel="noopener">serves</a> more than 88,000 students at more than 200 schools.

Dolezal&#8217;s public social media page linked to her OnlyFans account.
&#8220;Yesterday afternoon, we received information that a Sunrise Drive employee had an OnlyFans account, which had content that was contrary to our district&#8217;s staff social media use and ethics policies. That person is no longer employed by the Catalina Foothills School District,&#8221; the school district wrote in an email to parents.
&#8220;We are committed to maintaining a learning environment where our presence on social media is consistent with our professional obligations,&#8221; the district said.
Back in 2015, Dolezal made national headlines when her background as the child of white parents came to light. She was accused of faking being black for personal gain, even changing her appearance and voice accordingly.

The revelations resulted in Dolezal losing her position as head of the NAACP chapter in Spokane. She was also dismissed as an African studies professor at Eastern Washington University.
Dolezal eventually admitted she had been &#8220;born white to white parents&#8221; but said she identified as black.
Her parents <a href="https://nypost.com/2015/06/12/naacp-leader-has-pretended-to-be-black-for-years-family/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">confirmed</a> at the time that they were Caucasian and “primarily European descent, though there’s a small amount of American Indian.”
In 2017, Dolezal <a href="https://nypost.com/2017/03/01/rachel-dolezal-changes-her-name-to-west-african-moniker/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">changed</a> her name to Nkechi Diallo, which means &#8220;gift of god&#8221; in West African.

Meanwhile, her OnlyFans sells for $9.99 a month, and some of her posts get more than 100 likes.
On her OnlyFans, she advertises content like an &#8220;18-image explicit collection AND a video of self-pleasure to orgasm under the Christmas tree,&#8221; as well as &#8220;35 pics of DaBoo-Tay &amp; 2 videos of the TaTa’s.&#8221;
Dolezal can be seen posing in explicit pictures, including one where a picture of a black Santa Claus hangs on the wall in the background.
Despite Dolezal&#8217;s controversial history, she showed up in March to Arizona Governor Katie Hobbs&#8217; (D) signing of an executive order banning racial discrimination based on a person&#8217;s hair.

Notably, Dolezal did not always claim to be black. In 2002, Dolezal sued Howard University, a historically black school, alleging that she was denied scholarship funds because she was white.

We have now reached the point in American life where in our racially divided society, there is a quick get-out-of-jail-free card, so long as you are a member of an intersectional group.
If you&#8217;ve done something wrong, if you are accused of corruption, or if you are accused of some sort of malfeasance, your get-out-of-jail-free card is, “You&#8217;re attacking me because I&#8217;m black.”
This has significant ramifications for American public life. The simple fact of the matter is that in a meritocracy, we should be able to point out when you are corrupt or when you have failed. If every defense to failure is that the system itself is biased against you, that means failure will continue.
This is true system-wide, everywhere — from politics to administration, from the business world to the educational world. When Claudine Gay gets fired from Harvard University, the basic idea is that it must be a racist system that got her fired. 
There is now no way to hold people accountable if they are from a minority race. If, for example, you&#8217;re a politician and it turns out you&#8217;re deeply corrupt, and your first move is to claim America is racist because that&#8217;s why you&#8217;re being targeted — if that&#8217;s believed — there is no way to get rid of corrupt officials so long as they are of minority status.
Once that standard is created and the basic idea becomes that certain people in our society have a get-out-of-jail-free card and others do not, then all standards collapse because a double standard is no standard at all.
<h4><a href="https://www.dailywire.com/episode/ep-1901-when-in-trouble-cry-racism-member-exclusive" target="_blank" rel="noopener">WATCH: The Ben Shapiro Show</a></h4>
The latest iteration of this particular foolish, divisive defense comes courtesy of a person named Tiffany Henyard. You might not have heard of Tiffany Henyard, but this is a burgeoning story about a small town mayor in Dolton, Illinois — a town of 20,000 people —  who&#8217;s been alleged to have engaged in significant corruption on a vast scale. 
This story was reported in <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-12931847/mayor-tiffany-henyard-dolton-illinois-slammed-salary-expenses.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the UK Daily Mail</a>: 
<blockquote>The first female mayor of a tiny Illinois village slammed her critics at a public meeting after she caused outrage by taking a $300,000 salary. Glamorous Tiffany Henyard was elected leader of Dolton, a village of 20,000, in 2021, but has since come under fire for what many see as her excessive spending. … She regularly engages the services of a professional hair and makeup team and stylist before public appearances and photo shoots for the county&#8217;s taxpayer-funded billboards, which often feature the 40-year-old in what some see as shameless self-promotion.</blockquote>
Henyard has proposed a new law that would cap the next mayor&#8217;s salary at $25,000, unless she herself is the new mayor, a proposal many have deemed illegal.
“The scandal is just the latest to hit the beleaguered mayor, after she was slammed for hiring her former campaign worker as the town&#8217;s code enforcement officer despite the fact he is a convicted child rapist,” the Daily Mail continued.
Now she is now being investigated for all of this. Her defense is a defense that has become the all-purpose defense for an enormous number of people in our post-George Floyd society.
She <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-13058511/Tiffany-Henyard-mayor-Dolton-Illinois-corruption.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">spoke</a> about her alleged corruption and the reasons why she&#8217;s being targeted, saying, “You all should be ashamed of yourselves because you are all black. You are all black! And you all sitting up here beating and attacking a black woman that&#8217;s in power. You all should be ashamed of yourselves.”
Now again, the basic idea here is that even if a black person is asking this particular mayor about her corruption, it must be because they&#8217;re a race traitor of some sort.
If basic standards of meritocracy and decency are to be put aside in favor of claims that any critique is rooted in race, that means there can&#8217;t be any meritocracy anymore — which, of course, is the basic idea that social justice can only be established by getting rid of baseline standards of competency.

We see this across the board in the United States in a wide variety of places. Mayor Brandon Johnson of Chicago was questioned over his handling of the huge migrant crisis that has hit the city of Chicago, along with the crime crisis, along with the issues of economic problems in the city. His answer was, I&#8217;m a black man with a black wife and black kids. How dare you attack me?
This mentality is horrifyingly bad for the country. What does the race of his wife and his children have to do with anything? The reasoning is: You can&#8217;t critique me because I am citing my race.
He&#8217;s following in the footsteps of Lori Lightfoot, who was recently ousted as mayor of Chicago after one short term because she was a terrible mayor. But she also happened to be a black lesbian. She claimed that she had been ousted, not because she was terrible at her job, but because she was black. When asked after the election if she lost because of her race in a city like Chicago, which is heavily minority, she said, “I&#8217;m a black woman in America.”
In 2023, Lightfoot said in an interview with <a href="https://www.newyorker.com/news/the-political-scene/lori-lightfoot-makes-her-case-to-chicago?_sp=f46b50f6-2ff9-490d-87df-820a50fb74b1.1707424977366" target="_blank" rel="noopener">the New Yorker</a> prior to the election, “And, look, also, I am a Black woman — let’s not forget … Certain folks, frankly, don’t support us in leadership roles. … The same forces that didn&#8217;t want Harold Washington to succeed, they&#8217;re still here.”
She was referring to Chicago’s first black mayor.
This sort of excuse-making is a way of lowering standards of performance for everyone.
Again, we see it across the board. Fani Willis, who&#8217;s the D.A. currently going after Donald Trump in Georgia, has spoken of how racism was behind all the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/fani-willis-goes-to-church-tells-congregation-shes-being-targeted-for-skin-color" target="_blank" rel="noopener">accusations</a> targeting her.
The answer to every question about impropriety is now race in America. So long as you are able to play that card — and it&#8217;s a dangerous card to play — it undermines standards of stability, decency, and performance in literally every industry.

Jerod Mayo, who has been named the new coach of the <a href="https://www.dailywire.com/news/bill-belichick-leaves-new-england-patriots-after-24-years" target="_blank" rel="noopener">New England Patriots</a>, went viral on Wednesday, responding to a question from a reporter on race.
Mayo said he does &#8220;see color&#8221; when he was asked to reflect on being the first black coach in Patriots history.
“I do see color,” he <a href="https://gazette.com/news/wex/new-england-patriots-head-coach-i-do-see-color/article_d100c35d-6279-5900-a340-64ddd81ac01a.amp.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a> during the press conference, sitting alongside team owner Robert Kraft. &#8220;I believe if you don’t see color, you can’t see racism. And, whatever happens — black, white &#8230; even someone with disabilities — for the most part, people are like, ‘Don’t.’ When they’re young, they kinda make the spot hot.&#8221;
“But, what I would say is, no, I want you to be able to go up to those people, really understand those people,&#8221; Mayo continued. &#8220;So, that goes back to whatever it is — black, white, yellow — it really doesn’t matter, but it does matter so we can try to fix a problem that we all know we have.&#8221;

The clip of Mayo blew up online, with some praising the new coach, and others criticizing the response.
Former NFL quarterback Robert Griffin III cheered Mayo, writing online, &#8220;Jerod Mayo is the 1st Black Head Coach of the [Patriots] and he doesn’t shy away from it or any issues about race in our country.&#8221;
&#8220;He isn’t scared to say it with his chest,&#8221; Griffin added. &#8220;He is STANDING ON BUSINESS.&#8221;

<script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
A diverging online reaction argued that Mayo&#8217;s comments are a new-age &#8220;pseudo-profound reaction to colorblindness.&#8221;
&#8220;Meyo sounds like a good guy, but this nonsense needs to stop,&#8221; one comment <a href="https://twitter.com/SlowToWrite/status/1747737217395540151" target="_blank" rel="noopener">said</a>. &#8220;When a person says they’re colourblind, they’re not saying they don’t acknowledge a person’s skin colour. They’re obviously saying they don’t treat people based on their skin colour.&#8221;
&#8220;I mean, he does know that that’s just a saying, right?&#8221; another person <a href="https://twitter.com/capeandcowell/status/1747748072216469831" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a>. &#8220;Everyone sees color. It means you judge people on the content of their character, not the color of their skin. The opposite of what he’s doing.&#8221;

Others said Mayo could have handled the question better, citing Tampa Bay Buccaneers Coach Todd Bowles.
Bowles was asked by the press about facing off against another coach who is black, Steelers Coach Mike Tomlin. “I have a very good relationship with Tomlin,&#8221; Bowles <a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/news/tampa-bay-buccaneers-coach-rejects-racial-politics-in-football-we-dont-look-at-color/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">responded</a>. &#8220;We don’t look at what color we are when we coach against each other; we just know each other.&#8221;
“I have a lot of very good white friends that coach in this league as well, and I don’t think it’s a big deal as far as us coaching against each other, I think it’s normal,&#8221; he continued. &#8220;Wilks got an opportunity to do a good job, hopefully he does it. And we coach ball, we don’t look at color.&#8221;
